Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood actor and former California governor, is dead. Such is the claim of two websites and gossip mongers on social media. The ‘report’ that the 68-year-old actor suffered a heart attack at his California residence however could not be confirmed and it has now emerged that it was a hoax.

A fake news portal MSMBC.CO published a report on August 27 stating that Arnold Schwarzenegger was found dead in California and the website also quoted Los Angeles Police Chief confirming the report.

The report that has now turned out to be false stated: Los Angeles Police Department received a 911 emergency call about an “unresponsive male” from his house. When the cops reached the house, they found the actor’s deceased body on his bed.

The website quoted Los Angeles Police Chief James J Freda as such: “We found Mr. Schwarzenegger in his bedroom deceased around 9:30 pm on Wednesday. We found no reason to believe foul play was a factor in his death but intent to perform a full investigation.”

Fans of the Australian-American actor started posting RIP messages on the news report and even on Facebook as the rumour about Schwarzenegger’s death started spreading.

However, it has been confirmed that the report of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s death was false as the actor was spotted with The Expendables producer Robert Earl at a Los Angeles restaurant, a day after rumours about his death emerged.
